The Last Moral Monday of 2013

/

 

On November 26th, Gov. McCrory received a letter signed by 3,000 North Carolinians calling on him to convene a Special Redemption Session of the legislature to rescind the laws that deny Medicaid to 500,000 poor North Carolinians and unemployment benefits to 170,000 families. You can sign the petition by clicking HERE.

 

We invite you to participate in our Moral Monday Service of Redemption on Monday, December 23, 2013 at 4:00 pm. We hope that this Service will be a time to celebrate Gov. McCrory's successful Special Redemption Session and the General Assembly's grace and wisdom in rescinding these two inhumane laws rejecting funds for Medicaid and unemployment benefits.

 

However, if Gov. Pat McCrory, Speaker Thom Tillis, President Pro Tempore Phil Berger, and Budget Director Art Pope insist on maintaining their course of destruction, we will continue our moral witness and protest. We will witness against these policies which go directly against our deepest constitutional and moral values. The Forward Together Moral Movement will not allow hundreds of thousands of our neighbors in North Carolina to be crucified without a moral witness.

 

We will gather at Halifax Mall at 4:00 pm. Please bring a battery operated candle to help us shine the light of justice on these mean-spirited, immoral, and unjust policies. If you plan on bringing a bus, please email forwardtogether@naacpnc.org
